Re: A couple questions for the ABA

I'd say we can do 7 for each division, and let the division winner have a bye. Seems like a fair deal, and gives guys incentive not to tank at the end of the season to save player-games. Makes the league more competitive.

Re: A couple questions for the ABA

I actually really like the idea of 5 making it with 3 byes (even though putting it this way makes it sound quite ridiculous). It would be like the Wild Card game in football, plus, it would limit the playoff teams to only half of the entire league (like the NBA). The 3 byes would, of course, be both division winners and then the team with the best remaining record.

Re: A couple questions for the ABA

Only the last two teams would play for the 4th seed - consider it more of a Wild Card series to get into the playoff than the first playoff series. Then from there it's just an eight team tournament - three rounds.
